Q: Do sunspots go away with treatment? – S.M.
A: Yes, sunspots can be treated and will be eliminated 85-95% of the time. Topical creams containing Hydroquinone and Retin-A work together to slow down the production of abnormal pigment produced by melanocytes.

Topical vitamin C and Retin-A repair cancer-causing DNA mutations caused by the sun’s UV rays, and soften fine lines and sunspots. There are other treatments such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels that involve visits to the dermatologist and are much more costly than these topical treatments.
For natural remedies, you can try placing a sliced lemon on the skin 10-15 minutes each day or apply vitamin E on the skin.
To prevent against sunspots, be sure to use sunscreen daily.
